Things to consider:

  • The parties were very different than they are today. This was before the Republican Southern Strategy of appealing to racism
  • In fact, in the election map above, the South was won by the Democratic candidate; the Republican candidate won the North and the election
  • Condo (the creator of the strip) was born in Illinois and later worked in Ohio
